La. Gov. Bobby Jindal Opposes Proposal To Cap TOPS Grants
Mon, Jan 9, 2012 10:38 AM
The Governance Commission suggested a restructuring of TOPS to give all students a flat grant amount, capped at the same level for everyone, rather than tied to the cost of tuition at an individual school.
"We remain opposed to any efforts to cap TOPS. We think it is an important program that has been very successful," Jindal said Wednesday.
